CURRENT MISSION

Float Down Stream and figure it out!

ABOUT ME

adjectives: curious, reserved, thoughtful, supportive, optimistic, realistic, resourceful, inquisitive, pragmatic, voyager, cosmonaut, and navigator.

Things I revel in: traveling, driving, photography, cooking, tinkering, exploring and working with tools.

I feel one goal of life should be to remain barefoot as long as possible. From where I stand it seems One should avoid the Six C's: commuting, cubicles and conformance to corporate consumerist culture.

Most of my life plans are simple and bizarre.

I am just out to live life on planet Earth and gain a few wonderful experiences for the Great Experience. I find myself caught in between a clash of worlds, the one I left behind and the one I refuse to embrace for the same reason: both have reality tunnels too narrow for my liking.

PHILOSOPHY

here is a two minute run down mostly in the form of quotes...

Everything you know is because of conditioning.

The more you know the less you understand.

A mind filled with the known cannot discover the unknown.

"I travel like the Iliad But my ship sails amongst cosmic whales and intergalactic pirates." -JMT

"Folks, it's time to evolve. That's why we're troubled. You know why our institutions are failing us, the church, the state, every-thing's failing? It's because, um – they're no longer relevant. We're supposed to keep evolving. Evolution did not end with us growing opposable thumbs. You do know that, right? There's another 90 percent of our brains that we have to illuminate." - Bill Hicks

“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” Einstein

"the ultimate design of the Mysteries … was to lead us back to the principles from which we descended, … a perfect enjoyment of intellectual [spiritual] good." Plato speaking on the Eleusinian Mysteries

"In an evolving universe, he who stand still moves backwards." Robert Anton Wilson

"I'll try to be around and about. But if I'm not, then you know that I'm behind your eyelids, and I'll meet you there." McKenna

“Those who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, usually do.” Robert Anton Wilson
